I'm loving  the Cambridge Collection from Rip Curl for many reasons: clean and classic design that is suitable for everyday wear, nylon webbing straps that are comfortable, durable and fast drying thus perfect for swimming at the beach or pool and which can easily be changed to customize your watch with unique color combinations.

You can rest assure about quality here as well:  the watches have jeweled movements, (synthetic ruby’s which serve as bearings for gears in watches which reduce torque and friction allowing your watch to run more accurately for longer) they are also waterproof tested to 100 meters, and the case is made from the highest grade of stainless steel for waterproofing, strength and non-corrosion in a marine environment. Last but definitely not least, Color! The Cambridge collection is available in fresh and trendy hues perfect to mix and match with your favorite beachwear.

My pick of the Day are two of the six new fashion executions unveiled by the oversized watch brand. To me, spring-summer is all about yellow and green as they are reminiscent of nature and flowers. For this reason I’ve picked the Canteen Fashion Yellow and the Canteen Fashion Turquoise.

These bold and vibrant timepieces have the same clean, contemporary style that has made the Canteen line so famous. The watches feature a three-hand Miyota 2415 movements housed in 45mm brushed steel cases. Clearly, the fashion statement is achieved through the color-coordinated dial, silicon strap and an extra pop of color where the hands of each watch connect.

Make sure to take a look at the Canteen Fashion collection from TW Steel if you are looking for a colorful, fun watch for this season!

For most people roses are the purest, sweetest way to show love. I agree –partially– so I say give roses to mom…But not the flower kind, better yet the watch kind! Rose gold watches have a delicate yet timeless feel that always looks great alone or stacked with her favorite pieces of jewelry. It’s the perfect gift for mom! My pick of the day is the sublime Michael Kors ‘Runway’  Slim Rose Gold Tone watch (Reference number MK3211). This brilliant watch in rose gold tone features one of the top season’s trends and adds instant glamour to any look. Visit my Pinterest board to see the rest of my rosy picks thoughtfully selected for Mom. Happy Mother’s Day!

My pick of the day is the end result of a collaboration between two brands known globally for their connection with color: Ice Watch and Pantone. Ice watch new collection of unisex, bi-color watches called “Pantone Universe by Ice Watch” includes two creations featuring Pantone Logo, a bi-color dial and bi-color molded strap. There are two variants: emerald and white/white and emerald. Do you want to follow this trend and add a touch of vibrant green to your day?  Then go for one of these colorful Ice Watch timepieces!

My pick of the day is the silver/gold model from the new Eclipse collection.  This bracelet-style design is also an understated yet stylish piece of jewelry that incorporates both femininity in its design and robustness of construction. This contemporary look symbolizes the discreet beauty for which Jacob Jensen has become renowned. This style is suitable for everyday wear as well as for more formal occasions. The band is composed of brushed stainless steel or with PVD finish. The watch’s case and dial feature sublime material combinations that provide beautiful contrasts. This unique bracelet watch is available in two wrist sizes 54mm and 58mm, and four different color combinations.

Feminine and graceful, this rosy watch sparks with lovely crystal accents. This is more of a slim style with a 29mm round case and  clean rose gold stainless steel bracelet. The beauty of this watch resides on the dial, which immediately draws your attention: the bezel is embellished with 12 baguette-cut and 60 round-cut crystal accents. The mother of pearl dial is also adorned with rose tone stick indices, three hands and logo. A couple of weeks ago, the new face of DKNY actress Ashley Greene was seen wearing this watch and looked super chic with a simple red blouse and tan leather skirt. Some reviewers say that the watch looks even better with a sun tan, and I have no doubt of that as I know for personal experience that rose gold jewelry and accessories are the best choice for brunettes.  Are you still looking for the watch that matches your sun-kissed skin this summer ?

This substantial wristwatches are all about Jet set style with the perfect dose of shine and sheen, a bit of texture and spark. Both the gold (JC1900929) and rose gold (JC1900927) models have a bold 40mm case size, a textured bezel, dials adorned with Swarovski crystal indexes and luminous hands and logo. They are also water resistant to 30 meters making this beauties the perfect poolside mate. I’m loving the chunkiness factor on these watches and how chic they look without being overly girly. These reasons also make them highly appropriate for daily use as well, and that is something to love.

Straight from the Spring Summer collection 2013 comes the Esprit Trinity: a pretty bracelet watch with interchangeable bezels – one polished, one enameled and one paved with crystals – that transform a lovely bracelet watch into an elegant piece of jewelry, or a chic daytime accessory. Change your style to suit your outfit is just as easy as changing the top bezel and stacking your favorite jewelry to achieve the desired effect. The clean white dial combines beautifully with the gold bracelet and case and is such a trendy combination.

Looking for an affordable, multipurpose wristwatch to mix and match this season? Then look no further and get one of these fashionable timepieces!

My first pick is the insanely chic Aztec Odyssey Wrap. Like the name suggest, this watch features an unique Aztec print on a leather strap which has a rather neutral color palette with predominant touches of a color I call “rust”. The design is beautifully complemented with a rose gold plated hexagonal watch case and details as well as rose gold raised indexes. Maybe it’s my Latin heritage or maybe is my love for traveling and all things exotic , maybe is the combination of all these things which makes this watch so dear to me.

Emerald green is the color of the year, so I  got to have something green! Next on my selection is the Rio Gold Teal model. This watch has an extra-long washed teal soft leather strap topped with multiple gold plated stainless steel chains. The watch case shape is La Mer Collections’ signature square which is also made from gold plated stainless steel.

Last but certainly not least is what I consider the basics, the canvas, you know something you can mix and match infinitely. The Arizona Tobacco Multichain Wrap is a must have for me for two good reasons: first, it has the perfect neutral yet warm look and feel thanks to the tan leather strap (Tan being the kind of leather/color that never goes out of style)  and second, the multichain characteristic which means you get the perfect “stacked wrist” so trendy right now, in one single step. How convenient!

I’ll be writing more about this gorgeous watches in the future , of that I’m sure. In the meantime, take a look at our entire La Mer collection, I bet you will find the watch that is a genuine expression of you and your unique personal style. Until then, Happy Easter!

Back in 2010 they launched a fabulous collection of watches called “Miami Deco” inspired by the colors and style of the Miami Deco district. The vibrant colored watches took you back to Ocean Drive with their pristine beaches and glamorous hotels painted in lovely pastels colors, some of them featuring the most unusual color palettes that always look so good in sunny tropical destinations. Their Spring Summer collection 2013 includes a couple of models that seem to be inspired in the same theme, one of them being the pretty Flamingo Brasco Chrono. You’ve gotta love the vibrant combination of pink and blue which reminds me of flamingos in their natural environments, so tropical and warm!

You can expect top-notch functionality and durability of a Triwa watch in this chronograph, which features a sunray steel dial with turquoise colored chronograph sub dials and stainless steel luminous hands. The watch is set with a hand cut acetate case with a fixed enamel turquoise bezel and an organic pink leather strap. Are you heading to SoBe Miami this summer? If your answer is yes (or if you do plan to go somewhere else tropical for that matter), then make sure to bring this beauty with you! I promise you will get a 100% approved South Beach look!
